Chapter Six
A couple of hours passed by quickly enough, I spend time with Narcissa, and she showed me loads of pictures of my parents when they were at school and before they had me. I was surprised at how much I resembled my mum when she was younger.
"So Aurora, I was wondering, if you had experienced any odd things happening since you turned 17?" Narcissa asked me, I thought about it for a few minutes before saying, "um well, if I look at something and concentrate I can move it, but I never thought much of it, I just thought it was normal, but then none of my friends could do it or anything like it. And I have this weird thing that I can sense other people's emotions, its just weird I guess."
"Ah okay, never think it is weird, it is a gift dear, all the women on the Black side of the family are born with a special power, your mother was able to turn invisible, without a cloak, Andromeda can change the weather, and I can read a persons mind whether they are willing or not. Although I never abuse my power, as I think it an invasion of privacy," she told me. I couldn't help but look shocked.
"Woah, so how did you learn to control your powers?" I asked.
"Well dear, now you know what you are telekinetic, you practice using it, as for you emotion sensor, I don't think you can control that, I think it is just something that will always happen. Now come on let's go down for dinner and tell my son, all about his cousin," she said and gave me a hug, before we headed downstairs.
When we entered the dining room, Lucius and Draco were already there, sat beside one another, discussing the Quidditch results. They looked up as we walked in and the look of surprise that crossed Draco's face almost made me laugh.
"Hello Draco dear, this is Aurora, your cousin," Narcissa said as we sat down across form them.
"W-what?" he asked.
"Your cousin dear, now maybe you need to wash your ears out," she said and I looked at Lucius to see that he was also trying not to laugh.
"But mother, Aunt Bella's daughter was called Aurora, how can she be her?" he asked.
"Because Draco, she is Bella's daughter, she only found out yesterday," Narcissa told him, as the house elves began to bring out plates full of food, including beef, potatoes and all sorts of vegetables.
"S-so that's why you were looking at those books yesterday?" he turned and asked me.
"Yes," I replied.
"Why didn't you tell me then?" he enquired.
"Because I didn't want to," I told him.
"Okay, Draco listen, she only found out yesterday, she has been known for the last 18 years as Hermione Granger, a glamour was placed upon her at birth and wore off yesterday, and she is betrothed to Marcus Flint, now shall we eat dinner before it gets cold," Lucius said and I struggled to control my laughter as a look of horror crossed Draco's face.
"I-I-you…Granger?" he murmured, "Yes, now can you pass the potatoes please?" I asked and he just stared at me.
"Draco, pass Aurora the potatoes please," Narcissa said with a small smirk, and this time I couldn't help but laugh and so did Narcissa.
"What are you laughing at?" he hissed.
"Your face, sorry," I replied once I had calmed down.
Dinner progressed rather quietly; Draco wouldn't look at me, or talk to anyone. The rest of us just made polite small talk. Once dinner was over we went to the living room which is across form the dining room, Draco didn't join us, he just went to his room. Narcissa sat down next to me and asked me if I would like to come over on Sunday, and stay for a few days and they would introduce me to the Flints. I agreed, as I knew there was no way I could get out of it. It was almost 8pm when I said goodbye to Lucius and Narcissa, giving them both a quick hug before I apparated home.
